Map Folio 3D (merged)

[Mark]

The trickiest part (I added them to this thread in the order in which I built them and how I think they are easiest to build) are all the planks and beams for the stable section of the smithy. I went over a lot of the folds and such with a shapie because I thought they look better black than white. You could use a brown marker, if you have one, too.

doesnt seem to be too great for battles if you cant go in them. no need for scenery.

I think they're perfect. I prefer to draw the outline on the battle mat, then place the buildings on top of the outline. That way when people are outside you can easily detemine lines of sight/effect, and when they are inside you just move the building to the side and the inside can have a full layout drawn with furniture and whatever you want.

if Im drawing an outline I can see the lines of sight and whatnot anyway.

What if someone is above the ground, though? Huh? huh? huh?

Here's a thread with most of the original downloads, if you want to save the ten bucks...

Merged.

In one? I guess you could build them so the roofs are removable, but I think it is more for fighting *around them*

So they decided not to do the B&W interiors they first announced for this set? That's too bad, understandable, but too bad.

I don't have the print version, but I do have just about all of the downloadable ones. I very much like the stable, I agree that it was a pain to put together, but it looks very nice when done. And the ruined versions of several of the buildings has been handy.

But then I am a big fan of cardstock buildings... I have been buying just about every set fro WWW.WorldWorksgames.com and have only been unhappy with one of them, the others have more than made up for it. (I also have the Dover Publications Cut & Assemble castles, and when I was younger I had some very detailed paper models from Belgium.)

Cool. My buddy thalmin had a set in his office at Games Plus that I think was made by GW. Maybe he'll happen by this thread and refresh my memory.

Heh! I used to have the big town set by GW, it didn't survive a move about 10 years ago. (I think that it was called 'Townscape' or something like that.)

It was collection of the buildings that they did for their scenarios for Warhammer Fantasy Battle 1st through 3rd Editions. For some reason they decided that a bunch of buildings you were supposed to cut out and assemble needed a hardcover...

Nowadays I would have scanned it into my computer so I could rebuild any that were destroyed by the ravages of time. For terrain that gets beat on during the course of play being able to print fresh copies is a godsend.

And World Works is now planning to do an entire cities worth of cardstock buildings... I'm coming over all greedy like.
